Mor Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) You guys over thinking it, as long as you smoke it on your own time and dime, without effecting anyone else, no one gives a ****(maybe the usual health crazy people fringe) You know "the point"? It's on the opposite side of the Earth from you. In regards to the post I made and the reply. Ignoring that, more than half the people in the US are "health crazy people on the fringe" by your definition. The proportion of Americans who smoke tobacco is about 17% these days. Laws and ordinances going up to prevent secondhand smoke (i.e. you smokers bothering other people by giving them cancer, or with your noxious hobo-like stench,) are constantly popping up in cities and states without fail. Yes, you are being persecuted. It's a tragedy. My point was that as long as people smoke on their own time( no extra smoking breaks ) and their own dime( paying the extra indirect taxes to support their habit ) and without effecting anyone( not in public places) then the vast majority don't give a ****.( You can choke on your smokes in your own apartment and most of us won't care). While the fringe being those who try to convert you from smoking or those who see this as huge scheme by the big corporations. Also this is not persecution, this basic common sense e.g. if farts were toxic, I wouldn't fart in your face and regulation against people who do isn't persecution, but basic boundaries.

Why do you even care about such minor stuff when you can just spend time admiring, well for instance, http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/where/ Or learning to play the guitar, or join the peace corps.

Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mor Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Oh, it's just that topics like these are boring and i find great enjoyment in undermining them by the best of my ability.Instead of picking or start a topic that does interest you... Trolls are Internets ass clowns. Life's too short to worry too much about health.Life's too short to worry too much about anything. As for health, life expectancy is going up and up, and healthcare cost rise, eventually things are going to change or what your old folks live like will be deluxe compared to what will happen when you get old . I prefer that for once it don't get changed in the way of more hands reaching for my pay check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
